Long Yin, the "good-for-nothing" kicked out of the Long family, is a security guard earning 3,500 yuan a month at the Xingfu Jiayuan housing complex in Jianghai City.
Nobody knows he was the man who rushed into the twelfth floor to save someone during the fire three years ago. Nobody knows his real name is Chen Mo. And nobody knows that he has spent the past three years hiding at the very bottom, all to uncover one thing: how exactly did his mother die?
Until Long Aotian, the Long family's eldest grandson, shows up and throws down 500,000 yuan for him to leave.
He tears the check into eight pieces and says eight words: "Keep the money. Get out."
That day, for the first time, the Long family's heir lost face right on his own doorstep.
The chairman of the Jianghai City Chamber of Commerce bows to him in public. The heiress of the Su Group asks if he's the man from back then. And the secret hidden behind a wall of the Long family ancestral home is slowly coming to light.
Someone warns him, "The Long family's waters run deep."
Long Yin takes a sip of tea. "Only deep waters can hide a dragon."
And in Chunyu Alley in this city, a group of people are waiting for him to build a life with them.
